A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

As soon as Xu Youyou finished speaking, a hint of joy flashed across Peter's face, but it only took two seconds, and he shook his head as if he had thought of something.

"I can invest less money, but I hope to retain a portion of the shares for me and my friends," said Peter.

Xu Youyou frowned slightly. The boy in front of her looked young and immature. She couldn't understand how he could change his mind so quickly.

"How many shares do you want to keep?" Xu Youyou asked.

Peter said firmly: "At least fifty percent."

Xu Youyou's heart sank. This was obviously beyond her expectations.

"That's not how you talk business."

The sudden sound scared Xu Youyou so much that she turned around immediately.

She didn't know when Lu Jingyao appeared behind her, and she didn't know how much of the conversation he had heard.

"Mr. Lu, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a gentleman's behavior." Xu Youyou said with a cold face.

Peter didn't understand Chinese, he could only see the two Chinese faces opening and closing their mouths.

Lu Jingyao walked over, stood beside Xu Youyou, and said, "Showy Miss Xu, you guys are speaking openly, so I'm listening openly. Your intentions are too obvious, even a fool can tell something's wrong."

Xu Youyou bit her lip. She was indeed not smart enough, otherwise she would not have been tortured by Gu Xueying for her whole life.

But even so, she couldn't help but feel angry when she heard Lu Jingyao say this.

Xu Youyou suddenly saw a strange look in Lu Jingyao's eyes, as if it was heartache?

"Don't use too much force." Lu Jingyao said.

Before Xu Youyou could be surprised, she tasted rust in her mouth.

She bit her lip without realizing it, revealing a trace of blood.

Lu Jingyao handed over a white handkerchief. Xu Youyou used it to wipe the blood off her lips. In a trance, she smelled a light scent of elegant woody spices.

Lu Jingyao sighed softly, his previous aggression gone. Instead, he said, "When negotiating a business deal, you can't state your purpose too clearly from the start. You should lower the price first. For example, you could invest $3 million in him and get half of the shares. When his money runs out, you can invest another $2 million and get another portion of the shares. By doing this, you can at least get 90% of the shares."

"Getting 90% is enough. If these founders don't get any shares at all, they won't be very motivated."

Lu Jingyao felt that the mistake Xu Youyou made this time was that she thought Peter was young, so she did not hide it too much and was too proactive, which made Peter realize that she was pregnant with a treasure, and the situation between the two of them changed from offensive to defensive.

Lu Jingyao was no longer sarcastic, and Xu Youyou could listen to him patiently. The business genius's casual words immediately made Xu Youyou feel enlightened. She kept sighing in her heart, no wonder Lu Jingyao was so rich at such a young age, all these tricks showed that he had a black heart.

"Then what do you think I should do now?" Xu Youyou asked.

"If I were you, I would give him the cold shoulder for three days."

Without any hesitation, Xu Youyou turned to Peter and said, "There are so many people at the banquet, and some things are difficult to discuss. I'll contact you in a few days."

Peter had run into obstacles countless times in attracting investment, and he couldn't help but panic when he heard this. After all, he had experienced too many times that others said they would consider turning back and then disappeared without a trace.

"Ms. Xu, you can take a look at our game information first..." Peter unbuttoned his suit and took out a dozen wrinkled documents from it.

Xu Youyou didn't take it immediately, but smiled reservedly: "I haven't officially invested in your project yet, so it's not appropriate for me to have access to your confidential information without permission."

Peter panicked even more. "Ms. Xu, is it because of the shareholding? We can continue the discussion. As long as we can make this game, my friends and I can continue to dilute our shares..."

At this moment, Xu Youyou subtly felt the pleasure of being in control of everything. The more panicked Peter was, the calmer she felt.

She suppressed the urge to agree on the spot and instead looked at Peter with a smile: "Don't worry, I will contact you."

Peter still wanted to pester.

Lu Jingyao, who was standing by, suddenly said, "It's not gentlemanly to keep pestering a lady."

Peter could only sigh and shrink back.

Lu Jingyao took Xu Youyou a few steps deeper into the banquet hall. After making sure that no one was around, he said, "I thought you were only interested in art, but I didn't expect you to like investment games so much."

Xu Youyou said: "I always do things as I please. If I find something I like, I will spend any amount of money on it."

Lu Jingyao looked noncommittal and said casually, "Investing abroad has different rules than investing domestically. It's not easy to hold onto shares."

Xu Youyou keenly realized that the other party's words were full of hidden meanings, and immediately asked, "Is someone going to snatch my shares?"

Lu Jingyao glanced at her and said, "A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. It would be fine if this project was done quietly, but once it gets going, I'm afraid that the beasts that smell the fish will come and swarm over it."

Xu Youyou immediately asked, "Mr. Lu, you should have investments abroad. How can you avoid these beasts?"

Xu Youyou knew better than anyone else the huge business opportunities hidden in Peter, and she was reluctant to give up such a big piece of meat.

"Equivalent exchange." Lu Jingyao said.

Xu Youyou was stunned.

The other party explained: "You seem to know a lot about porcelain. Accompany me to an internal appraisal meeting tomorrow. I will help you solve the investment problem. I can also lend you my professional team. They will get the most benefits for you from that poor young man."

Xu Youyou's eyes lit up. Lu Jingyao really had the air of a successful person. Just standing there, he made people inexplicably feel very reliable.

If we can really get help from the other team, then this matter will be a sure thing.

But Xu Youyou was still a little worried: "Would you also like to get involved? Take my shares?"

Lu Jingyao chuckled and said, "Although I am a profiteer, I won't disobey even these rules."

Xu Youyou was skeptical: "It's amazing that you have a clear understanding of yourself."

Not only did Lu Jingyao not think the title of "profiteer" was offensive, he even looked proud of it.

While the two were talking, a waiter holding two glasses of champagne happened to walk up to them.

Xu Youyou put down her empty glass and picked up a new glass of champagne.

She was just about to put it in her mouth.

Lu Jingyao reminded me again: "If I were you, I wouldn't drink it."

Xu Youyou was stunned. Only then did she notice that although Lu Jingyao had a glass of red wine in his hand, he hadn't taken a sip for a long time.
